They kept the DS launch. Don't worry, the stakes are too high. This is what they're gonna use to f*ck up the Xenon launch. Do not worry, they will launch this Christmas. It'd be a waste otherwise and they know it.

I seriously doubt it'll even have a minimal effect on the Xbox Next launch.

Yeah most people will already have made up their mind on whether or not they will be buying the new Xbox and the release of one game isn't really going to affect it. Although, I have bought a console for one game, I have never not bought a new console I planned on purchasing because of a release of a game on a system I already own.

I can see where you're comming at TMB... but unless Xbox2's launch lineup is total and utter crap, I don't see Zelda effecting it much.

Then again, I'm not psychic. If Nintendo can get HUGE releases in the same week, it might mess it up a little.

People are still tied to this console war bullsh*t, so Microsoft fans will buy Xbox 2 and Nintendo fans will buy Zelda. There will be little to no effect on the launch, but I could be totally wrong. I'm just going on observation.

Depends if the game is finished and people want to play it instead of different things.I don't think it will effect the X box 2 launch either.This is Gamecube's Last big game.

The big thing you need to think about is, this is a NEXT GEN CONSOLE LAUNCH! Everyone is going to want to get their hands on the new hardware. What true gamer wouldn't want to?

A true gamer who wants one of the best games ever developed rather than an enhanced Halo 2 port. There are true gamers who don't want an Xbox 2 you know, and that dosen't make them "not real gamers". Geez, you of all people should realize that.

You can't define a true gamer. My definition is someone who plays games for all systems. If you don't think it's worth it to buy the system because not enough games you like are on it, fair enough, but don't go bashing the system just because it doesn't suit your needs.

My definition would be someone who plays games, is devoted to video games, and plays them for the joy that they bring, whatever system they may be for, and knows enough about gaming to make their own informed decisions in purchases.

Anyway, back on topic.

People keep hinting that Link will be able to transform into various animals. Wolfs seems like a possibility, but whichever way you look at it, it appears that animals will play an important part in this game one way or another.

Probobly. But it did have some unique features, and it did give us the magic system. It's hard as hell though compared to the others, but that's not a bad thing.

And before Majoras Mask was shown, People coulden't see Link turning into a Zora or Goron, much less a Deku Scrub. It's possible.

And, about the freaking console war... To me it extends to the companies behind the machines. Nintendo doesn't have its OS monopoly to fall back on, or it's other consumer electronics. We all know Nintendo is WAY too proud to go third, or even second, party. So, that's right. **** the console war. It's about company wars.

And you don't wanna read my fanboy posts? Fine. There's that little "ignore member" feature. Learn to use it, or shut up.

True but I still don't see it. Not that it won't be done. And although the game is definitely going to focus around animals I still don't think Link will be transforming into any. But the truth is very few people really know what's going to happen and they're paid to keep their mouths shut.

There's a discussion of this game on another board, and someone made an observation that the warhog Link rides wears this same material that his horse rides. Is there possibly a dual-world, like Ocarina of Time?
